Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 170 - 168 Mother, we are here to save you

Central State, Imperial City.

The Imperial Study Room within the Imperial Palace.

Empress Long Yurou, with a crown on her head and donning a Nine Dragon Robe, looked down at the ancient book in her hand, her pretty eyebrows knitted tightly as if encountering a troublesome problem.

After a while, she closed the ancient book and stretched out her snow-white jade hands to rub her forehead, muttering to herself, "Blood Robed Man? A Blood Sea that can corrode the power of fate? What on earth is it?"

Ever since Long Yufei had sent back information from Lanzhou to her main body, and the main body had reported this information to Long Yurou, she had been flipping through the ancient books of the palace every day, but still had no clues; it seemed that such instances had never appeared before.

After some time, Long Yurou softly asked, "Has there been any message from the Guardian God?"

"Your Majesty, there is currently no news from the Guardian God."

An elderly woman’s voice rose in the Imperial Study Room, yet no one was seen.

The Empire’s Guardian God was Jiuzhou’s only Martial God. Discover stories at novelbuddy

He originally suppressed his aura using the Jiuzhou Dragon Veins, preventing the ascension tribulation from arriving.

But three years ago, Jiuzhou’s Great Emperor inexplicably passed away. Long Yurou was in Big Stone Village, and Long Yufei’s cultivation was not enough to deter petty thieves. The Guardian God had no choice but to come out of seclusion to maintain the situation, leading to a leak of his aura, which was then sensed by the Upper Realm.

Shortly after Long Yurou returned to the Imperial City and became Empress, the Guardian God sensed his imminent ascension tribulation and was about to transcend and ascend to the Upper Realm. He then went out in search of a place for transcending the calamity while simultaneously looking for a new Guardian God for the Empire. Since then, there has been no news.

It was also from that time that Jiuzhou began to experience its undercurrents of unrest.

Long Yurou fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "Has there been any news from Jiuzhou’s inspectors?"

The elderly woman’s voice rose again, "Your Majesty, aside from Cangzhou, Longzhou, Thunder State, and Desolate State, the inspectors from the other four states have all sent back messages reporting that everything is normal. The Life Soul Plates of the inspectors from Cangzhou and the other three states are functioning normally; they are likely not in danger of their lives. The selection for the inspector of Lanzhou is still ongoing."

Long Yurou’s eyebrows furrowed again. There were four state inspectors who hadn’t sent back messages?

Jiuzhou’s inspectors are an agency under the Jiuzhou Emperor, responsible for inspecting the nine states, including Central State.

Apart from the Jiuzhou Emperor, no one knew their identities. They could be an inconspicuous beggar on the street or a State Governor.

The inspector of Lanzhou had died not long after the governor of Lanzhou was killed, and they were still undergoing reselection.

The selection of Jiuzhou’s inspectors was extremely strict. Not only did they need to be strong and talented, but they also had to be absolutely loyal to the royal family. It was quite difficult to train them quickly.

This was also why Long Yurou had asked her younger sister, Long Yufei, to take up the position of the governor of Lanzhou. Among all the people she could trust, there were very few, and only Long Yufei was suitable to take up the role of state governor of Lanzhou.

Silence fell once again in the Imperial Study Room. Moments later, the elderly voice spoke up again, "Your Majesty, the governors of the seven states are still unseen?"

The governors of the seven states?

Upon hearing these four words, Long Yurou’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

Apart from Lanzhou and Central State, the governors of the other seven states had each brought a Martial Emperor to the Imperial City to pay homage to the Guardian God. But everyone knew that they were here to probe the situation, to see if the Guardian God was still around.

"How could they see the Guardian God just because they want to? Just say that I am in the midst of cultivating with the Guardian God and have not yet emerged from seclusion. Let them wait; if they can’t wait, they can go back on their own," said Long Yurou with a cold snort. However, she also knew that she could not keep them waiting forever; otherwise, it would lead to trouble sooner or later. But at the moment, she had not yet figured out a solution to the problem, so she could only stall for time.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the elderly woman’s voice responded.

Long Yurou lifted her head to look in the direction of Lanzhou’s Big Stone Village and thought silently, "Brother Feng, if it were you, what would you do?"

During the time she spent with Chu Feng, she was deeply attracted by his unorthodox ideas; he had unexpected solutions for many problems. But bringing him and the children back to the Imperial City was too dangerous; it was better to let them live peacefully in Big Stone Village for their whole lives.

"Children, are you all doing well?"

She then thought of the two children she had "abandoned" just after they were born, and her heart was filled with endless longing.

Long Yufei had not passed on the information about Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the siblings, only saying that they were doing well in Big Stone Village and that Long Yurou should not worry about them.

But as a mother, how could she not miss her own children?

Little did she know, the two children she longed for had already embarked on a journey to find their mother. However, the road that led them to the Imperial City was becoming increasingly off track.

...

"Wow! So this is a teleportation portal, huh? It’s so huge; bigger than all the houses in our village put together," exclaimed a voice in awe.

In the Jiuzhou Secret Realm, before the Cangzhou teleportation gate, Chu Xin gazed at the thirty-zhang high teleportation gate with her mouth wide open.

Chu Chen also nodded profoundly, his round, bead-like eyes shimmering as he whispered into Chu Xin’s ear, "Sister, this seems like a treasure too, shall we dig it up and take it with us?"

Dig it up?

A twitch appeared at the corner of Long Shaoyu’s mouth; could this rascally kid really be contemplating digging up the teleportation gate?

He once again worried for the treasures back at the State Mansion.

Smack!

Chu Xin’s snowy-white hand landed a smack on the top of Chu Chen’s head as she scolded menacingly, "Are you dumb? If we dig up the teleportation gate, how will we get to Central State?"

"Oh, that’s true."

Chu Chen scratched his bun hairstyle and chuckled sheepishly.

Long Shaoyu rubbed his forehead and said, "Let’s go, if we don’t leave now, the teleportation gate will close soon."

To avoid blowing his cover, he deliberately took the siblings around the Secret Realm looking for other fortunes.

Although most fortunes had already been snatched up by others, they were still lucky and found some minor ones. These small fortunes were of little use to Long Shaoyu but provided Chu Xin and Chu Chen with several satisfying meals.

Meanwhile, the young man with the square face and the bow-wielding youth had already passed through the teleportation gate back to Cangzhou, discussing with the State Governor at the Cangzhou Prefecture on a grand plan to deceive the two mischievous siblings.

Only after Long Shaoyu estimated that other Heavenly Prides from Cangzhou had all been transferred back did he bring the siblings to the Cangzhou teleportation gate.

"Hurry, hurry, we’re going to Central State."

Chu Chen cheered, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

Excitement twinkled in Chu Xin’s round, beady eyes too; they were finally going to rescue their mother.

"Let’s go!"

Long Shaoyu looked at the siblings, his face breaking into an excited smile.

Everything was going according to his plan, as long as nothing unexpected happened... Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Long Shaoyu furrowed his brows; this thought seemed to have occurred to him twice already.

It happened once during the struggle for the Divine Sword Fruit and once when vying for the Divine Lotus; this was the third time.

Undoubtedly, something unexpected had occurred both previous times. Could it happen again this time?

A wave of unease surged in Long Shaoyu’s heart.

No, there would be no accidents this time.

Long Shaoyu carefully reviewed his plan, reassuring himself in his mind.

"Big brother, why aren’t we going yet?"

Chu Xin turned her head to look at Long Shaoyu, asking with confusion.

"Right, let’s go."

Long Shaoyu snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, leapt into the air, and flew into the teleportation gate.

"So this is how you just charge straight into the teleportation gate."

Observing this, Chu Xin and Chu Chen had an epiphany, simultaneously patted the Two-headed Fire Dragon’s head, and commanded, "Little piggy, charge!"

Whine!

The Two-headed Fire Dragon issued a sonorous dragon cry, quickened its pace, and charged headlong into the teleportation gate.

"Mother, we’re coming to save you."

The milky voices of the siblings echoed through the Secret Realm.
